Fast Food Watch: Shake Shack's Limited Time BBQ Options Are Worth a Try

Following their decision to put massive slices of avocado on their burgers – which was a little hit or miss in our opinion – Shake Shack has added BBQ sauce to the menu. In three different ways to be exact.

Unlike the foray into avocado, their selection of BBQ sauce-laden options is more forgiving and, honestly, much tastier.

For burgers, there’s the BBQ Beef Burger (RMB 55) a cheeseburger slathered in barbecue sauce and topped with fried onion strings. Shake Shack's patties, in this editor's opinion, tend to taste like they've been dipped in butter. While some people might like this, for me, it's a bit offputting. Thankfully, the tang of the sauce and the crispy onion strings make this burger a little better to munch on.

Far superior is their BBQ Chicken Sandwich (RMB 52), a fried chicken sandwich with pickles and barbecue sauce. We've been impressed by Shake Shack's chicken sandwiches in the past, and this one is no exception.

Fans of Chick-fil-a will like this one as it's done similar to their sandwich -- just pickles, sauce, and fried chicken between bread, but packed with flavor, making it truly a sum of its parts.

If that's not enough, there’s also BBQ Bacon Cheese Fries (RMB 39), which sees Shake Shack’s crinkle cut fries topped with cheese sauce, barbecue sauce, and bacon bits. A decadent treat indeed.

All in all Shake Shack knows how to use BBQ sauce to their advantage. Try these options today as they're all limited time offerings.
